Shorebirds Go Down to Defeat, 1-0
Steve Johns pitched well enough to win, but it was not to be. The Delmarva Shorebirds, despite Johns's fine outing, dropped a 1-0 decision to the Columbia Fireflies at Spirit Communications Park. Wilfred Colvin earned save number 16 this season. The Fireflies improve their record to 78-37 with the win over Delmarva.

The Shorebirds had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Fireflies going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old third baseman Jesse Grow came to the plate. Grow hit a run-scoring triple on a first pitch sinker from Delmarva hurler Steve Johns. It was Grow's 12th triple of the year.

Grow attributed the win to his team's "hyper resolve."
